What if tapping for anxiety could calm your nervous system faster than meditation, affirmations, or journaling?

If you've tried all the "right" tools to manage anxiety — meditation, breathwork, affirmations — and still feel restless, overwhelmed, or stuck in your head, this episode offers a body-based alternative.

Tapping for anxiety, also known as emotional freedom technique (EFT tapping), is a form of somatic healing that uses gentle tapping on meridian points to support nervous system healing and release stored emotional stress.

In this episode of Feel Good Nakd, we explore why tapping works especially well for women who struggle to sit still, quiet the mind, or force calm — and how working with the body can create real relief.

I'm joined by Sinéad Stewart, a certified EFT practitioner who helps people regulate their nervous systems and release stored emotional patterns through tapping.

Sinéad shares how she discovered EFT during a period of intense anxiety, why it became the one practice that truly stuck, and how she now guides others through tapping in a grounded, accessible way — especially for those who feel resistant to traditional meditation.

What would it feel like to try one month without social media — no scrolling, no posting, no constant reaching for your phone?

In this episode of Feel Good Nakd, I share what happened when I stepped away from social media and allowed my body and nervous system to calm down.

This wasn't a diehard social media detox. I wasn't trying to prove anything or walk away forever and I'm not trying to persuade you to leave your digital life behind.

Instead, this is an honest look at social media addiction, overstimulation, and the subtle ways our bodies stay overwhelmed, anxious and unable to fully rest.

In this self-help podcast episode:

• What one month without social media can reveal

• Why overstimulation keeps your nervous system unhinged

• The subtle signs of social media addiction

• Easier quit social media tips

• How to create a healthier relationship with social media
  
  

So if you've ever felt wired but tired, constantly restless or like your phone keeps pulling you away from yourself, this conversation will help you understand what's really happening — and how to relate to social media in a healthier way.

Listen for a softer, more sustainable way to step back from social media — one that supports calm, presence, and a deeper sense of safety in your body.
